Gray has been solid this spring, allowing one run on three hits to go with three strikeouts in four Cactus League innings.

The 25-year-old is experimenting with a new changeup grip this spring, and the early returns are certainly promising. The lone run he allowed was on a home run, but outside of that blemish, he's been impressive to begin the spring. Gray is vying for the honor of being the Opening Day starter, and although manager Bud Black is remaining noncommittal as of now, the former first-rounder seems like a frontrunner for the nod. Regardless, Gray will look to shoulder a bigger load in 2017 as one of the leaders in a youthful Rockies rotation.
